The heavens set sail from the courtyard

When Wang Gang drove Xu Hongdou and Xie Xiaochun back, the car was very dull. Xu Hongdou was not in high spirits because of a foot injury, and Xie Xiaochun was a little tired after a busy day.

"We didn't have lunch at noon, what do you want to eat when we go back tonight?" Wang Gang took the initiative to open the chatterbox.

"I don't have much appetite." Xu Hongdou said in a lack of interest.

"I still have to take care of the little gourd when I go back, so I have to go home for dinner." Xie Xiaochun apologized, "I wanted to invite you to eat authentic Yunnan cuisine, but I didn't expect that not only failed, but also made you hungry."

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "It's okay, I will invite you again next time I have a chance, I will remember this meal."

Xu Hongdou said, "Brother Wang, can I trouble you to take me to the ancient city again in three days' time?"

Three days later, the mobile phone screen arrived, and Xu Hongdou had to go to the ancient city, but she had a sprained foot and was unable to move, so she could only trouble Wang Gang.

"No trouble, why don't you give me your phone, and I'll help you go to the ancient city to repair it, and you can rest in the courtyard for a few days to recover from your injuries."

"Is it possible?" Xu Hongdou asked.

"It's okay, I'm idle anyway." Wang Gang said indifferently.

Xu Hongdou thanked Wang Gang again, and then gave Wang Gang the broken mobile phone, not afraid that he would steal the mobile phone information.

After getting along for the past two days, Xu Hongdou has completely trusted Wang Gang.

The car quickly drove back to Yunmiao Village. Wang Gang parked the car outside the village. He and Xie Xiaochun helped Xu Hongdou back to the windy courtyard.

After delivering the person, Xie Xiaochun said: "Hongdou, I'll ask Nana to bring you some dinner later, if you don't have an appetite, eat some."

"Thank you, Miss Xiaochun."

Wang Gang also said: "You live on the second floor, and it's inconvenient to go up and down the stairs. Call me if you need it."

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but blushed again when he thought of the scene of Wang Gang hugging her just now.

Xie Xiaochun was very puzzled, what he said was good, why is Xu Hongdou so shy?

Wang Gang and Xie Xiaochun let Xu Hongdou take a good rest, and they left first.

Xie Xiaochun went to the cafe, and Lin Na was surprised to learn that Xu Hongdou sprained her foot, so she took the initiative to take over the meal delivery task.

On the other side, Wang Gang was a little hungry, so he was going to eat some barbecue outside, and met Xie Zhiyao when he was leaving the small courtyard.

"Ayao, are you looking for Xu Hongdou?" Wang Gang asked.

"I'm not looking for Xu Hongdou, I'm here for you." Xie Zhiyao said with a smile.

"Looking for me?" Wang Gang asked in surprise, "What is it?"

"It's nothing serious, I just want you to help me persuade Xia Xia, he usually listens to you the most." Xie Zhiyao said with a headache.

"Xia Xia wants to go to Shanghai again?" Wang Gang said.

Xia Xia is Xie Xiaochun's younger brother Xie Xiaoxia, 22 years old this year, and usually learns carving skills from his master Xie Heshun.

Wang Gang sometimes went to Xie Heshun to ask about carving skills, and he was very familiar with Xie Xiaoxia.

Xie Xiaoxia is a young man who is enterprising and doesn't want to stick to Yunmiao Village, but always hopes to venture into big cities.

"Xiaxia broadcasts live engraving, and there is a man from Shanghai who often rewards him. Once he comes and goes, he wants to develop in Shanghai, and the other party says to help him with his work." Xie Zhiyao said distressed:
"Because of this, his master lost his temper, saying that he learned to run before he learned to walk, so ambitious."

Wang Gang said with a smile: "I know Heshun's temper, he didn't scold his apprentice, but he was reluctant to let his apprentice go, and he refused to ask him to stay because of face.

But Xia Xia is a good boy, and it's a good thing to want to go out and make a splash. When you are young, you don't want to go. "

Xie Zhiyao said angrily: "You agree with Xia Xia going to the magic capital?"

Wang Gang shrugged and said, "Young people want to break in, but you can't stop them."

Xie Zhiyao sighed: "I'm not worried that he will be cheated! The people I meet online are unreliable!"

Wang Gang nodded and said, "That's true. Does Xia Xia understand who the other party is?"

Xie Zhiyao said: "That child Xia Xia is honest and heartless, and there are no bad guys in his eyes. How does he know who the other party is?"

Wang Gang said: "Have you had dinner yet? Let's go to barbecue together and ask Xia Xia out to ask."

Xie Zhiyao thought about it, so he called and asked Xie Xiaoxia out for dinner.

Yunmiao Village is not big, there is only one barbecue stand, and there were no customers when Wang Gang and Xie Zhiyao arrived.

They randomly found a small table and sat down, asked the boss to bake something, and served two bottles of beer first.

Xie Xiaoxia arrived in 10 minutes.

"Brother Ayao, Brother Wang." Xie Xiaoxia was a very honest child, and she was very restrained when she saw Wang Gang and Xie Zhiyao.

"Come and sit down." Wang Gang gave Xie Xiaoxia a small stool.

"Thank you, Brother Wang."

Xie Xiaoxia has already realized why Xie Zhiyao asked him to come.

"Brother Ayao, don't try to persuade me, I have already decided to go to Shanghai to develop, and I have already talked to my master and my family."

Wang Gang and Xie Zhiyao looked at each other, just as Xie Zhiyao was about to speak, Wang Gang took the first step.

"When you go to Shanghai, have you settled your basic necessities?" Wang Gang asked.

"My friend said that if you go to the devil, you can live with him, and he can help me find a job." Xie Xiaoxia looked forward to it.

Wang Gang raised his eyebrows and said, "How much do you know about your friend?"

"We often chat online, and he appreciates my carving skills, saying that many people in Shanghai like my sculptures."

Xie Zhiyao said angrily: "You believe everything he says, what if he lied to you?"

"What can he lie to me?" Xie Xiaoxia asked back.

Xie Zhiyao heard the words and was speechless.

Wang Gang sighed: "It seems that you are determined to go to Shanghai, and I will not persuade you, but there is only one request."

Xie Xiaoxia said happily: "Thank you, Brother Wang, you are the only one who supports me."

Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Don't be too happy, my request is that you wait for three days before leaving, I will ask my acquaintances in Shanghai to check, and you can give me your friend's information."

"This is not good!" Xie Xiaoxia hesitated.

Wang Gang poured a glass of beer for Xie Xiaoxia and said, "If your friend is okay, of course you are not afraid to check."

Xie Xiaoxia thought for a long time, finally nodded and said: "I only have his screen name."

When Xie Zhiyao heard this, he became even more angry.

"You don't even know his real name, and you still want to go to Shanghai?!"

Wang Gang also felt that Xie Xiaoxia was an unreliable friend.

"You tell me your screen name first, and it's best to have his photo."

Xie Xiaoxia took out her mobile phone and said, "I had a video call with him, and accidentally took a screenshot."

Wang Gang had Xie Xiaoxia's prestige, so he asked him to send the screenshot, and then said, "Wait for three days, and I will check it out before sending you to Shanghai."

The owner of the barbecue stall brought a plate of food, and Xie Zhiyao handed Xie Xiaochun a lamb skewer.

"Eat it! Don't worry, Brother Wang will be able to find out the details of that person."

Xie Xiaoxia took the mutton skewers and asked, "Brother Ayao, after I leave, where can you persuade me, Master?"

Xie Zhiyao sighed: "Your master's apprentices, walk away, change careers, if you leave again, I think he, the inheritor of intangible inheritance, will be considered extinct in this generation."

"No, I went to Shanghai to promote the master's woodcarving skills and traditional culture, not to leave the master's school." Xie Xiaoxia said nervously.

Wang Gang said with a smile: "Your boy has a bit of a conscience, and he has not forgotten his ancestors."

"It's good for you to have this kind of heart, but I still think that you should listen to your master and hone your skills for a few more years. As for the promotion of wood carving culture, I have been following up." Xie Zhiyao sighed.

With the development of the times, the traditional woodcarving craft is becoming less and less popular, and it is the general trend for machine carving to replace pure hand-carving.

It's just that Xie Heshun, Xie Xiaoxia's master, loves woodcarving culture too much, has always been complacent and refused to make concessions. Coupled with face problems and not accepting new things, the business of the woodcarving workshop will only get worse and worse.

Wang Gang has seen Xie Heshun's craftsmanship, what should he say?Handicraft is a good handicraft, but it is limited to handicraft work, and there is still some gap with wood carving art.

If he is willing to compromise for the market, commercialize the woodcarving, and find a dedicated team to promote it, there may still be a way out.

"Xia Xia, think about leaving again. I'm negotiating cooperation with the hotel, trying to hang Master Xie's works in the hotel chain, so that more people can understand the woodcarving culture."

Wang Gang on the side took a sip of wine and remained silent. He felt that Xie Zhiyao had a good idea, but unfortunately, even if the hotel could negotiate, it might not be able to solve Xie Heshun's plight.

In the final analysis, if Xie Heshun's thinking does not improve, all efforts made by Xie Zhiyao will be useless.

"Brother Wang, have you ever been to the Devil's City? What kind of city is that?" Xie Xiaoxia suddenly said longingly.

Wang Gang sighed: "Modu is a very prosperous city, many times bigger than Yunmiao Village, but not as warm and cold as Yunmiao Village. It is a place that values ​​profit more."

Xie Xiaoxia listened ignorantly, but Xie Zhiyao understood.

"Brother Wang, will you go back?" Xie Xiaoxia asked suddenly.

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "There is no plan to go back for now, why do you ask?"

Xie Xiaoxia took a sip of the wine and asked boldly, "Do you like my sister?"
